GTIIT is the first Sino-foreign cooperative university with an independent legal personality to introduce high-quality higher education resources from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. Technion is a prestigious public research university based in Haifa, Israel, well known for its research innovations. Since 2004, Technion has celebrated three Nobel Prize laureates and has consistently ranked among the top 100 universities. The vision of GTIIT is to become a world-class international university that conducts cutting-edge research in science and technology.\r\n\r\n<strong><b>Project Details<\/b><\/strong>\r\n\r\nWith rising global emissions, there has been a significant shift in energy policies across nations, including China, toward achieving carbon neutrality. In this context, the aviation industry is also exploring sustainable, alternative fuel options to reduce its carbon footprint. Alternative fuels derived from different feedstocks exhibit differences in their thermophysical and chemical characteristics compared to conventional fuels. Therefore, there has been a constant effort to understand the influence of those properties on their ignition, combustion, and emission characteristics. To this end, in this position, the research fellow will experimentally investigate the fundamental combustion characteristics using non-intrusive laser diagnostic tools in a flat-flame burner.\r\n\r\nResearch responsibilities will include, but are not limited to, design and development of an experimental facility, experimental measurements using advanced research tools, data curation, publication of research findings in reputable peer-reviewed journals, and preparation of research proposals. In addition, the researcher will participate in minimal teaching activities. Researchers will be encouraged to participate and present their work at international conferences\/meetings.\r\n\r\n<strong><b>Keywords: <\/b><\/strong>Alternative jet fuels, combustion characteristics, combustion diagnostics, Flat-flame burner.","position_educationRequirements":"- Master degree (or equivalent) in Physics or Material Science (essential) for PhD applicants\r\n\r\n- Strong background and interest in condensed matter physics (preferable)\r\n\r\n- Strong interest in 2D materials, optics and study of electric current in materials\r\n\r\n- Strong interest in participation in multiple domestic and international conferences (in China and abroad)\r\n\r\n- Good communication skills, good command of English (essential)\r\n\r\n- Ability to work independently as well as in team (essential)\r\n\r\n- Ability to author scientific reports and co-author scientific publications (essential)\r\n\r\n- The PhD candidate must fulfill the requirements for admission to the Technion Graduate School and needs to comply with its regulations leading to the PhD\/Master degree: <a href=\"https:\/\/graduate.technion.ac.il\/en\/prospective-students\/\">https:\/\/graduate.technion.ac.il\/en\/prospective-students\/<\/a>","position_custom_text_1-field-tag-title":"div","position_custom_text_1-field-class":"","position_custom_text_2":"<ul>\r\n \t<li>Application deadline: Open until filled.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Application materials:<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Curriculum vitae<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Referee Details(including PhD thesis advisor)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Brief research plan (up to 2 pages in length)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Should you need further details, contact KumaranKannaiyan\u00a0via email:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:kuma%72an%2eka%6enaiy%61n@%67ti%69t.%65du.c%6e\"><u>kumaran.kannaiyan@gtiit.edu.cn<\/u><\/a><u>\u00a0<\/u><\/li>\r\n \t<li>Webpage: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gtiit.edu.cn\/en\/viewStaff.aspx?staffNo=130\"><u>https:\/\/www.gtiit.edu.cn\/en\/viewStaff.aspx?staffNo=130<\/u><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>","sort-position_custom_text_2":"sort-left-4","position_custom_text_2-custom-title":"Application Details","position_custom_text_2-hide-title":"off","position_custom_text_2-hide-field":"off","position_custom_text_2-field-tag":"div","position_custom_text_2-field-tag-title":"div","position_custom_text_2-field-class":"","position_custom_text_3":"","sort-position_custom_text_3":"sort-right-6","position_custom_text_3-custom-title":"","position_custom_text_3-hide-title":"off","position_custom_text_3-hide-field":"off","position_custom_text_3-field-tag":"div","position_custom_text_3-field-tag-title":"div","position_custom_text_3-field-class":"","sort-position_inline_apply_now":"sort-disabled-0","position_inline_apply_now-custom-title":"","position_inline_apply_now-hide-title":"off","position_inline_apply_now-hide-field":"off","position_inline_apply_now-field-tag":"div","position_inline_apply_now-field-tag-title":"div","position_inline_apply_now-field-class":"","position_valid_through_date":"1970-01-01","position_base_salary_upto":"","position_base_salary_unittext":"","position_pdf_job_name":"","position_job_location_remote":"","job_remote_data":[{"type":"","name":""}],"position_job_location_streetAddress":"","position_job_location_postalCode":"","position_job_location_addressLocality":"","position_job_location_addressRegion":"","position_job_location_addressCountry":"","position_hiring_organization_name":"Research Fellow (Postdoctoral)","_elementor_edit_mode":"builder","_elementor_template_type":"wp-post","_elementor_version":"3.4.2","_elementor_pro_version":"3.3.5","eael_transient_elements":[],"jobs_post_metrics_counted":"yes","wpcf-ref-id-phd":"GS-2025002","wpcf-group-phd":"Assoc.
